CHERRY TOMATO FIVE-MINUTE SAUCE image

Categories     Tomato     Sauté     Quick & Easy     Lunch     Summer     Healthy

Yield 1 quart

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
2 quarts ripe cherry tomatoes (red, orange or both), halved
Leaves from 1 branch basil
1 teaspoon granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon (or more) crushed red pepper flakes (recipe used more, but this was still zingy)
2 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • Heat oil in large, deep skillet over high heat until hot. Add tomatoes, basil, sugar, pepper flakes and garlic and cook until tomatoes come to a full boil. Cook 5 minutes more, until most tomatoes have collapsed, crushing them with back of a wooden spoon (I used a potato masher). Using a food mill, puree sauce back into the cooking pan. Simmer until thickened. Meanwhile, boil some fresh pasta in salted water for 2 or 3 minutes. Drain and place in serving dish. Pour sauce over and add freshly grated parmesan cheese.

FIVE MINUTE TOMATO SAUCE

Provided by Food Network

Time 10m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 (28-ounce) can peeled plum tomatoes, pureed
4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 clove garlic, finely chopped
5 basil leaves, torn
Salt

Steps:

  • Empty peeled plum tomatoes into a bowl and break them up with your hands or a spoon.
  • Heat olive oil in a saucepan and add the chopped garlic. Gently fry ingredients together.
  • Add the peeled plum tomatoes to the saucepan. Simmer on low to medium heat for 10 minutes.
  • Season the sauce with salt. Add the torn basil leaves at the very end.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe, flavorful tomatoes: The quality of your tomatoes will greatly impact the flavor of your sauce. Look for tomatoes that are deep red in color and feel heavy for their size.
  • Use a variety of tomatoes: Don't be afraid to mix and match different types of tomatoes. This will add depth and complexity to your sauce.
  • Roast your tomatoes: Roasting tomatoes intensifies their flavor and sweetness. If you have time, roast your tomatoes before making the sauce.
  • Use fresh herbs: Fresh herbs, such as basil, oregano, and thyme, will add a pop of flavor to your sauce. Add them towards the end of cooking so that they don't lose their flavor.
  • Don't overcook the sauce: Cherry tomato sauce is best when it is cooked quickly. Overcooking will make the sauce watery and bland.

Cherry tomato five-minute sauce is a quick and easy way to add flavor to your favorite dishes. It is perfect for pasta, pizza, chicken, or fish. With its fresh, tangy flavor, this sauce is sure to become a family favorite. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced cook, this cherry tomato sauce is sure to impress.
